w10: Four principles for the open world |LiuXinlei


Futurist Don Tapscott believes that recent generations have been bathed in network technology from birth. As a result, the world is also developing towards an open and transparent trend. In the entire ted speech, he mentioned that the new generation is aboriginal in the digital age and has an innate sensitivity to digital media. This speech was made 8 years ago, which means that 8 years ago, he believed that this infinitely expanding digital society would bring good changes to the world.

On the one hand, I very much support his view of participating in this open world with zero threshold. In these 8 years, I am also very happy to see that these changes are real. Not only refers to social networks or digital media. As a new generation growing up under the rapid development of the Internet, they are indeed using a brand-new system to break the outdated social rules. We are also very happy to see that the world has become transparent in some systems. system. This promotes the opening and development of the world.

But on the other hand, I don’t think Don Tapscott should have realized that in the 8 years of open world development, the rapid development is not only in a better environment for humans’ lives, I think that transparency is institutionalized in some ways. Instead, it has caused some information barriers, leading to the expansion of social polarization, just as the American television industry believed that through "Sesame Street" a few decades ago, children who did not have the financial means to receive preschool education could follow the children who received education. It’s just as convenient to obtain knowledge for free, but in fact children without financial foundations don’t even have time to watch "Sesame Street". This behavior leads to children who can receive education gain more knowledge, while children who do not receive education still There is no opportunity to receive education. I think this phenomenon is also true in the open world. Although technological development and the growth of a new generation have promoted the widespread dissemination of information, I believe that the education that must be received cannot be replaced by relatively wide open dissemination.

Don Tapscott believes that sunlight is the best fungicide, which I believe in. I personally think that people of the previous generation will always say how stable the past is. Even if there is a lack of timely information circulation and real-time news, people seem to maintain a high degree of civilization and citizenship. I look at this point dialectically. I have never experienced such an era, but I still believe that if people need relative fairness and justice, then transparency and openness are needed. It's hard not to mention another question. How will we maintain the balance of privacy and transparency in today's time when we are as transparent as possible and information is highly circulated?

W10 : Can we think of some example of how Internet has changed our culture? / 박소민(SOMIN PARK)

 1. Summary  The Internet has changed our culture so much. First, through the Internet, we can meet people regardless of distance. People in each country communicated over the Internet and reduced the barriers to distance by creating relationships. Also, the Internet has let us stay away from books. When we want to find expertise, we can get it from Wikipedia or Google. Even information in books can be obtained through e-books, reducing access to libraries and paper books. 2. Interesting point Further to the above, our brains are gradually degenerating because we don't have to remember information. We are constantly interrupted by SNS notifications ringing on our phones when we do something, so our concentration and attention are being reduced. Furthermore, the ease of obtaining information online is causing our short-term memory to decline. 3. Discussion point I think the Internet has made it easy to sever a relationship with a person because we can meet another person simply...

W7: Review of Good Faith Collaboration / Suyoung Han

  Review of Good Faith Collaboration 1) Summary – Wikipedia from an ethnographic perspective: focusing on collaboration within the community Wikipedia, which is called the world's largest encyclopedia, is an open community and is becoming more and more solid with the participation of various people, conflict, and resolution. In this respect, Joseph M. Reagle Jr. attempted to explain the culture that takes place within Wikipedia. The book describes how Wikipedia was created and what it values. In particular, he described Wikipedia in a book from an ethnographic point of view, and focused on cooperation within the community. 2) Interesting Point – Wikipedia is simple, but not I realized that Wikipedia is not just a site made up of community activities, but rather a collaborative activity that is carried out concretely for the goal. Before I read the book, Wikipedia was an encyclopedia site that only gave me information (even I didn't trust the information), and I thought ...

w9: Its often said by teachers that “Wikipedia is a good place to start, but a bad place to finish” why? LiuXinlei

 Its often said by teachers that “Wikipedia is a good place to start, but a bad place to finish” why? In terms of the comprehensiveness of the content, we have to admit the advantages of Wikipedia. For example, Wikipedia is undoubtedly my first choice when I don't understand an event at all. It is convenient, fast and comprehensive, and I can spend the least time to understand the whole content of this fact as comprehensively and neutrally as possible. But in the process of in-depth learning, Wikipedia can only be used as an introductory content, because in learning we need to understand this fact as much as possible, and we need to understand the different views of scholars in different regions on the same event. There will be different theories. Some theories seem to be not neutral or even discriminatory or ethnographic at present (such as Marxism and Marxism in China), and it is not suitable for Wikipedia. Be shown. In short, Wikipedia has a very low threshold for users. It assu...
